Accept user input in sql *plus 9.2.0.1.0

Any body budy can get any idea about my sourcr code?
I wrote below code in sql *plus
accept p_hire_date1 date FORMAT 'DD-MON-YYYY' prompt 'ENTER hire date from:'
accept p_hire_date2 date FORMAT 'DD-MON-YYYY' prompt 'ENTER hire date to:'
DECLARE
v_hd1 employees.hire_date%TYPE := TO_DATE(&p_hire_date1);
v_hd2 employees.hire_date%TYPE := TO_DATE(&p_hire_date2);
CURSOR emp_cursor IS
SELECT e.last_name, e.first_name, e.hire_date, e.salary, d.department_name
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE ((e.hire_date>=v_hd1) AND (e.hire_date<=v_hd2)) AND
(e.department_id=d.department_id)
ORDER BY e.first_name;
emp_record emp_cursor%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RPAD('Name',20) || RPAD('Hire Date',15) || RPAD('Salary',15) || RPAD('Dept. name',15));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RPAD('-',4*15,'-'));
FOR emp_record IN emp_cursor
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RPAD(emp_record.first_name || ' ' || emp_record.last_name,20) || RPAD(TO_CHAR(emp_record.hire_date),15) || RPAD(TO_CHAR(emp_record.salary),15) || RPAD(emp_record.department_name,15) );
END LOOP;
END;
when I execute it I got this error
SQL> /
Enter value for p_hire_date2: 23
accept p_hire_date1 date FORMAT 'DD-MON-YYYY' prompt 'ENTER hire date from:'
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
any Idea?

Your "accept" statement seems to be correct.
Please change the declaration of v_hd1 and v_hd2 as below.
v_hd1 employees.hire_date%TYPE := TO_DATE('&p_hire_date1','DD-MON-YYYY');
v_hd2 employees.hire_date%TYPE := TO_DATE('&p_hire_date2','DD-MON-YYYY');
Since p_hire_date1 and p_hire_date2 are date variables enter a valid date of format DD-MON-YYYY. You have entered 23 which is not a valid date.

Accepting User input in SQL*Plus

I am writing a SQL script in SQL*Plus that accepts a value from the user and plugs that value into a variable that exist in several locations outside of the PL/SQL block.
I am able to do this, yet everytime this variable is encountered, the user is prompted for input. I would like to have the user prompted only once at the beginning and then use that value throughout. This seems like a simple task, yet I cannot get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use &&<variable_name> and it will define the variable and use it throughout the SQL code.

Agentry - Filter by Current User Name in SQL Step

I'm currently developing an Agentry application that connects to an Oracle back end. I would like to filter by the current user's name in a SQL step that connects to the Oracle database. What's the best way to do this?

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?docset=/com.sybase.infocenter.pubs.docset-SMP-SDK-3.0.2/doc/html/title.html&docSetID=2021
<<user.name>>
Returns the name of the client user. By default this will be the ID entered by the user to log into the client. This value may be overridden.
<<user.agentryID>>
Returns the user ID entered to log into the Agentry Client. This value cannot be overriden during synchronization.

Display User Name - ASP & SQL

I have a login page that asks the user for only the password
(NOT username/password combo). This verifies against my MS SQL
database that contains columns for both "Username" and "Password".
On successful login, the user is directed to my "Survey.asp" page.
My question is, how do I display "Welcome User Name" on my
survey page? Thanks!

Pull it from your recordset and display it like this some
where on your
page.
Welcome
<%=(Recordset_Name.Fields.Item("UserName").Value)%>

Dynamically change schema/user name in sql query

I have tables with same name in different schema.
and Suppose I have query like:
select * from myHR.emp;
Now I want to pass variable in place of myHR, may be as follows:
Declare
vSH varchar2(10);
Begin
vSH := 'myHR';
select * from vSH.emp;
End;
But I got error with this query.
I want to pass variable as scheme_name/user.
So, please help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Like said before, it is no different than running any other SQL statement from the client.
All you have to do is run a ALTER SESSION statement immediately after opening the connection:
SQL> alter session set current_schema = your_company_specific_schema_name ;or you can create synonyms under the Oracle user that you use to connect to the database and these synonyms will point to the correct schema.table that needs to be accessed. Then your queries will simply use the synonym as if it were the actual table without caring where the actual table is located.
Justin is faster even considering its a friday.

Restricting user from ODBC, SQL PLus, Toad etc

Hello,
We would like to restrict user accessing database from anyODBC driver, s/w like Toad or sqlplus. They can only access dataabse through loggin to Application. Is there a way to do it.
I have been looking into VPD but could not find any info there.
Thanks
Suhail

Don't you need to be able to create a session before you can invoke a secure application role?
What, exactly, are you trying to prevent. Are you trying to prevent well-meaning users from discovering that they can use Access to "fix" the data in the database when there are problems? Or are you trying to prevent a rogue employee from being able to access the database with anything other than your application?
If it is the former, something simple like a login trigger that checks the program used to log in would probably work. If it is the latter, I fear you are out of luck. If your application can connect, a moderately competent hacker can access the database rather quickly, particularly if he has access to your application executable.

SQL*PLUS 32 Bit Client needed for Windows 64 Bit

Hi,
I have got a 64 Bit Windows OS and an Oracle 11.
With 32 Bit Applications ( Crystal Reports) I can not run SQL NET Thick, SQL NET Thin and JDBC.
Oracle 32 Bit Installation is Missing.
Oracles "Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)" will not do it.

What else to use ?

Did you unzip the ic sqlplus .zip (the one listed) in the same dir as ic basic?
After dezipping waht than ?
No installer, nothing ...That's the beauty of Instant Client, just unzip or move a few files, set PATH if needed, and you have client libraries all "installed" and ready.

You can give advice ?Generally, required lib files are (n Windows) oci.dll, oraociicusN.dll or oraocieiN.dll (N= e.g. 11). Then for Sql*plus add orasqlplusicN.dll and the .exe from ic-sqlplus package.

How to append timestamp to log file in SQL*Plus ?

Version: 11.2.0.3
Platform : RHEL 5.8 (But I am looking for platform independant solution)
I want to append the timestamp to spooled log file name in SQL*Plus.
The spooled log filename should look like
WMS_APP_23-March-2013.logI tried the following 3 methods found in the google. But none of them worked !
I tried this
col sysdt noprint new_value sysdt_var
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'yyyymmdd_hh24miss') sysdt FROM DUAL;
spool run_filename_&sysdt_var.Logas suggested in
http://power2build.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/sqlplus-spool-name-with-embedded-timestamp/
and this
spool filename with timestamp
col sysdt noprint new_value sysdt
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'yyyymmdd_hh24miss') sysdt FROM DUAL;
spool run_filename_&sysdt..Logas suggested in
http://powerbuildev.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/sqlplus-spool-name-with-embedded-timestamp/
and this
column tm new_value file_time noprint
select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDD') tm from dual ;
prompt &file_time
spool logfile_id&file_time..logas suggested in
Creating a spool file with date/time appended to file name
None of the above worked in RHEL or MS DOS. Any workaround ?

I have tested your suggestions. But I still couldn't append the date to the logfile in RHEL or MS DOS SQL*Plus
Here are the attempts I've made. I am posting how the logfile looked like after every test.
#Attempt1 with two dots (&sysdate..log )
set echo on
set feedback on
set define off
set pages 999
column dcol new_value SYSDATE noprint
select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD') dcol from dual;
spool testlog.&sysdate..log
select 'hello' from dual;
spool off;Log File Name -- > testlog.&sysdate..log
#Attempt2 with single dot (&sysdate.log)
set echo on
set feedback on
set define off
set pages 999
column dcol new_value SYSDATE noprint
select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD') dcol from dual;
spool testlog.&sysdate.log
select 'hello' from dual;
spool off;Log File Name ---> testlog.&sysdate.log
#Attempt3. Replacing first dot with Hyphen (testlog- ) to check if the first dot was causing the issue
set echo on
